One of the greatest joys of my young life was a brand new box of Crayola crayons. I loved everything about them, the neat rows, their perfect points, even their waxy smell. Nirvana was the 64 box, but even the 24 was very, very cool. I learned the exotic color names: magenta, periwinkle blue, sienna, cornflower blue. It's because of crayons that I'm an artist; they allowed me the freedom to express myself with color. To begin this week, I found this fun quiz: What Color Crayon Are You? Here are my results:

You Are a Blue Crayon

Your world is colored in calm, understated, deep colors.You are a loyal person, and the truest friend anyone could hope to find.On the inside, you tend to be emotional and even a bit moody.However, you know that people depend on you. So you put on a strong front.

Your color wheel opposite is orange. Orange people may be opinionated, but you feel they lack the depth to truly understand what they're saying.
